The Most Powerful Man in the World

"But……"

Chu Yi waved his hand and said: "The most important thing for us right now is to reach the capital smoothly. As for these people with ulterior motives, Wang Heng will not be the first or the last on this journey. There is no evidence. Under the circumstances, the Governor has no time to pay attention to them."

When Cao Shaoqin and Qi Hu came back, it took half a day.

Cao Shaoqin said angrily to Chu Yi: "Professor, there must be ghosts in this city of Yangzhou, Qi Dangtou and I couldn't buy fresh vegetables with silver money. In the end, our family couldn't bear it anymore and killed a hiding person. Those who are secretly threatening those vegetable farmers are only getting enough fresh vegetables."

Chu Yi was not surprised, soothed Cao Shaoqin and said, "Just think about it, we have tens of millions of taels of silver on board, and some people can do anything for this silver, if I were you, those fresh vegetables would be mine. It must be thrown into the river."

"What... Director, do you mean that there is something wrong with those vegetable farmers, and the vegetables we bought have been manipulated by them?"

Cao Shaoqin exclaimed, and even Qi Hu, who was beside him, couldn't help showing a look of horror.

Chu Yi said indifferently: "Is there any problem, whether it has been manipulated or not, won't you know if you go to test it?"

Cao Shaoqin flickered and disappeared in front of everyone. He soon saw that he took some fresh vegetables he bought and checked them one by one. Soon Cao Shaoqin's expression became extremely ugly, and he slapped these vegetables into pieces and said sharply: "Damn, it's really poisonous, our family killed them!"

Just when Cao Shaoqin was about to get off the boat to find those vegetable farmers to kill, Chu Yi said, "I ordered to go down and set off immediately. There are experts in Yangzhou, and since that's the case, we don't want to play with them."

Cao Shaoqin was stunned for a moment, then he calmed down and bowed to Chu Yi and said, "This servant is guilty and almost fell for those people."

Obviously, after Cao Shaoqin calmed down, he realized that the other party might have done this on purpose. The purpose was to provoke them, and then move the tiger away from the mountain to attract their attention to Yangzhou City, and then they can naturally play the idea of ​​​​staining silver on the boat.

After all, the method of poisoning vegetables is too obvious and easy to detect. The other party never thought of using poisoning methods to deal with Chu Yi and others. The purpose is to anger Chu Yi and others. That's it.

Chu Yi has seen through this point. If there is no such thing as the silver on the boat, and there is no secret edict from Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi would not mind playing with some people in Yangzhou Prefecture, but it is a pity that his heart is like an arrow now, so he sees through it. After some people's calculations, Chu Yi directly flipped the chessboard, and I didn't play with you anymore.

In a restaurant on the edge of the pier, a scribe in green was sitting there, and several strong men with a sullen aura sat there drinking and eating meat, complimenting the scribe in blue from time to time: "Thank you. Mr. is worthy of being the top celebrity in my Yangzhou government. With a little trick, you can turn Chu Yi, a thief, around, and it won't take long for them to find out that the vegetables we sent to them have been manipulated."

A man showing his breasts and showing his breasts was nibbling on a chicken leg and said, "It's a pity that the brother who was killed, if he hadn't acted more like a play, how could he just watch that brother helplessly. Lost his life."

A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the scribes in green shirts, obviously because they didn't like these Jianghu gang characters who roamed the canal, but they were going to deal with Chu Yi, and these Jianghu gang characters couldn't be more useful.

"Everyone, if Xie's expectations are not bad, it won't be long before Chu Yi is angry and will send people into Yangzhou City to arrest people. At that time, everyone will take advantage of the weakening of the ship's defense force and swarm up and kill Chu Yi and others, tens of millions of people. Two silvers can wait for everything for me."

In the face of the bright prospects described by Mr. Xie, especially when he mentioned tens of millions of taels of silver, the leaders of several large and small gangs present could not help but breathe quickly.

They worked so hard on this canal that they only accumulated tens of thousands of taels of silver, but now the large ships that are docked on the pier are loaded with as many as tens of millions of taels. If it is true that Mr. Xie said that they can snatch the silver pattern, wouldn't they enjoy endless prosperity and wealth for a lifetime?

As for the risks involved, whether they will lose their lives, it is nothing to these Jianghu gangs who have been fighting for their lives all the year round.

It may be that any gang conflict will cost you your life. Now, for the sake of tens of millions of taels of silver, even if you lose your life, it's worth it.

Pairs of red eyes with infinite greed stared at the distant ships through the window. If they were not afraid of the officers and soldiers on the ships, they would have sent people to rush up.

Now I expect some people from the big ship to enter Yangzhou City. At that time, they will swarm up and try their best to win the big ship.

But at this moment, the heads of several gangs opened their eyes one by one, showing stunned expressions, and said in a trembling voice: "This... this is not right, Mr. Xie, how did they pull the anchor and leave..."

At this moment, the expression on Xie Tianming's face suddenly froze, the folding fan that was swaying in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he looked stupidly at the drifting ship, and murmured: "It's not like this. Yeah, it shouldn't be like this..."

A reckless man's eyes were red, he grabbed Xie Tianming's shirt and lifted it up, his hideous face almost sticking to Xie Tianming's roar: "You motherfucker tell me what's going on, you are not castrated. Will the dogs split up?"

Xie Tianming roared angrily: "How do I know that this dog is not playing cards according to common sense, what are you yelling at me, if you don't let me go, I want you to die without a burial place!"

"Want to kill me? Then kill me!"

The reckless man was born with a huge force and slammed Xie Tianming on the table. At this moment, the leaders of the Jianghu gangs on the side reacted, and their expressions changed greatly when they saw this.

This reckless guy is the leader of the Heiyu Gang. He is simply a reckless guy who doesn't have much brains. The Heiyu Gang and him only have a dozen or so people. It can be said that he is here to make up the number. Everyone sees that he has no brains, so they trick him into doing it. As cannon fodder, even the man killed by Cao Shaoqin was a subordinate of the Heiyu Gang.

As a result, Chu Yi's reaction at this moment was completely different from what Xie Tianming said. Heiyu Gang was naturally angry for helping Chen Heiyu.

"Hurry up and stop him!"

With a bang, Xie Tianming's head was smashed by Chen Heiyu like a smashed watermelon. The gang leaders looked at Xie Tianming, whose head exploded, and then looked at Chen Heiyu, who had a ferocious face. One by one, they looked at each other, looked at each other, turned and left.

Damn, what's the matter? Xie Tianming is also a famous person in Yangzhou Prefecture. He was killed like this. It can be expected that those literati in Yangzhou Prefecture will never let them go. If they don't run at this time, I'm afraid can't run away.

Chu Yi never expected that he was too lazy to play some conspiracy with Xie Tianming and directly flipped the chessboard, but as a result, the famous teacher Xie Tianming lost his life.

Of course, a mere Xie Tianming is not enough to gather more than a dozen vicious Jianghu gang masters. There are naturally other people behind them who control the overall situation, and Xie Tianming is nothing more than a chess piece.

It is good to become, even if it fails, then Xie Tianming and the masters of these Jianghu gangs will die.

The big boat went down the canal and gradually moved away from Yangzhou Prefecture. The waterway of the canal is not as fast as the river, so the speed of the boat is not slow, and even to catch up with some sections of the river, it is necessary to rely on the river workers to drag the big boat forward.

Several times when the big boat was dragged by the river workers, Chu Yi was a little worried that someone would take the opportunity to kill him. After all, this time was definitely an excellent time.

[It's still a [-]-character chapter, nothing to say, continue to code, ask for a monthly pass, and give a reward. 】

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

However, until the big ship sailed to Xuzhou, the journey was unexpectedly smooth, and there was no one or any force to do it.

If Chu Yi hadn't noticed the hidden figures on both sides of the river who were always monitoring the ship's every move, Chu Yi would have wondered if some people had turned their sexes and were not ready to beat him and these tens of millions of taels of silver. idea.

But human nature is greedy, tens of millions of taels of silver, who can not be tempted, but when there is a chance, everyone will choose to give it a shot, there is no shortage of desperadoes in this world.

Otherwise, in Yangzhou Mansion, the dozen or so gang masters would not dare to gather together to fight Chu Yi's idea when they knew that it was the official ship of Dongchang.

They don't know that intercepting the Dongchang official ship is a rebellious and self-defeating move, even if they have no knowledge, they are still like mirrors in their hearts, but they can't stand the attraction of tens of thousands of grains of silver.

I don't know how many people relying on the canal have been supported by this Grand Canal. Not to mention the others, just these river workers, that is, relying on the Grand Canal for a living.

Relying on the Grand Canal, many large and small forces have grown up, but along this journey, none of these forces have jumped out to start.

Chu Yi doesn't believe that among so many forces, there are no people who are blinded by gold and silver. To say that most of them dare not make Dongchang's ideas would be true, but to say that no one dares to move Dongchang's official ships. , Chu Yi asked himself Dongchang and his fierce name is not so big.

Then there is only one possibility for such a strange situation, that is, there is a huge force that has suppressed all the big and small forces on the canal, or all the forces are united.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain this situation, but no matter what the reason is, this is what Chu Yi does not want to see.

If it comes wave after wave, with the preparations made by Chu Yi, I am really not afraid, but if so many forces, big and small, on this canal really unite, no matter how conceited Chu Yi is, he will not be afraid. I can't guarantee that I can keep the gold and silver.

On the big boat, Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin, Qi Hu, Yu Huatian and others with a solemn expression and said slowly: "Everyone, what is the current situation, I think even if I don't say it, everyone has a good idea."

Cao Shaoqin said sharply: "The Governor, according to our family's opinion, the Governor went directly to the shore, dispatched troops and horses from the local guards, and guarded them with a large army. I don't believe that those people can still attack the army."

It has to be said that what Cao Shaoqin said was indeed a solution. Chu Yi turned his attention to Qi Hu, Shi Kui, and Yuhuatian.

Qi Hu shook his head and said, "This subordinate is just a warrior. Whatever the governor has ordered, Qi will definitely complete it, but Qi is really not good at letting Qi play conspiracy with others."

Yu Huatian glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said, "Eunuch Cao's suggestion is quite reasonable, if the forces on the entire canal are really united, apart from dispatching troops, our family really can't think of any way to solve this problem. Bureau."

Shi Kui stood upright and noticed that Chu Yi was looking at him, Shi Kui said solemnly: "The last general can only guarantee that his subordinates will protect the Governor with all their might, if the opponent is too many..."

Chu Yi sighed lightly. In fact, it was him. Faced with this situation, he had only one choice. He dispatched the soldiers and horses of the guard station and traveled by land from the canal. Fortunately, the next stop was Jining, which was already much closer to the capital. Even if they take the land route, they can reach the capital within a month.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi said: "Everyone, let's go down and rest. How to make a decision after Jining, Chu Fang, you stay."

No one saw Chu Fang the next day.

From Xuzhou to Jining, the road was still calm and terrifying. Chu Yi ordered the boat to slow down, and he kept in touch with Dongchang at all times. Whenever there was any trouble on both sides of the canal, he would definitely be the first. The time is known to Chu Yi and the others.

This section of the road took six or seven days. This is definitely a test by Chu Yi, because this section of the canal is surrounded by the imperial army, whether it is Xuzhou, Taierzhuang in the middle, or Jining, the next stop. If these people If you want to do it, you will definitely not choose this section of the canal.

Sure enough, even if Chu Yi slowed down, the canal was still calm, which made Chu Yi more and more sure of his judgment.

This time, Chu Yi summoned Shi Kui and Cao Shaoqin and said, "Everyone, it can be seen from all the signs that these people should have united. We must choose a place to abandon the ship and go by land."

Several people looked at each other and said, "We will obey the order of the Lord."

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said: "The next stop is Jining. The governor decided to abandon the ship in Jining. When that time comes, Cao Shaoqin, you will bring someone to bring the Jining garrison to see me!"

Cao Shaoqin responded.

Then Chu Yi made another arrangement, but in about an hour, a large city appeared in front of him, and it was Jining City, which was located on the edge of the canal.

Cao Shaoqin got off the boat and went straight to Jining City.

In the Jining garrison mansion, as a garrison of Jining, Du Wen is a rare person who knows soldiers. Although he will be a little average, compared with the current military officials who don't even touch swords and guns, at least Du Wen can still carry them. With swords and spears, he could ride a warhorse. Affected by this, Du Wen's soldiers and horses were barely able to handle them.

Several figures in the garrison gathered in the hall. In this garrison, Du Wen, the master, should sit first, but the one sitting in the middle is a thin-looking man with a blue shirt. old man.

Although the old man looks thin, there is a faint wise look in his eyes. Just by looking at the respect of the others present for the old man, he knows that the other person is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Daishan, according to the Kuaima newspaper, the robber will arrive in Jining in a few hours at most. If everything is as expected by Mr. Chu, Chu Yi will choose to abandon the ship in Jining and go by land."

The person who spoke was the prefect of Jining, and the people who gathered here were almost all the important officials of Jining City. The prefect and the guards were all here, but it was this Mr.

Chen Li, Ziyin and Mr. Daishan, was an emperor of three dynasties. Although he was not an important official, there were many former officials of his disciples. For example, the prefect of Jining was his former disciple.

Chen Li stroked his beard and said: "This time, the adults are putting pressure on the canal, and the forces on the canal are temporarily united to put pressure on Chu Yi. Chu Yi is a smart person, he must be able to realize that the canal is no longer safe. , we must abandon the ship and go overland, just our purpose is to let him abandon the ship."

Du Wen respectfully said: "Mr. Daishan's clever plan, Chu Yi's every move is in the expectation of Mr., as long as you get off the boat and go ashore, then everything is not up to us?"

The prefect of Jining smiled and said, "Perhaps we can draft a memorial and present it to the emperor, saying that Chu Yi, the governor of the East Factory, unfortunately fell into the river and died on his way back to Beijing, with no bones left!"

Another Jining Wenchen stroked his beard and smiled and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, then we will file a report again, saying that Chu Yi was killed by the mountain bandits, the mountain bandits escaped without a trace, and the body of Chu Yi is not found."

In a living room on the side, there is another group of people gathered here. These people are dressed in various clothes, and even have weapons on their bodies.

If someone saw it, they might recognize that these people are all the masters of the big and small forces on the canal, and they are all people in the rivers and lakes who lick blood and rely on the canal for a living.

These people can become the masters of a party's power, naturally relying on their strength. Among these people, the number of players who have reached the first-class state alone exceeds the number of hands.

Daming rivers and lakes are not just those few schools, the huge world is naturally hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so it is not uncommon to say that a few first-class players are just picked up on a canal.

Before Cao Shaoqin appeared in the Jining garrison, he immediately showed his token and said to the guards: "At the order of the director of the East Factory, I have come here to invite the Jining garrison to see him."

The soldier couldn't help but froze for a while, and after reacting, he hurried to Tongbing, while Cao Shaoqin looked at the entire Jining garrison.

Glancing at the dozens of soldiers who were patrolling in line, Cao Shaoqin nodded secretly in his heart. Just looking at the spirit of these soldiers, he expected that Jining's troops should not be too bad, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

I'm afraid that Jining's guards are all a group of rabble, otherwise, there is really no way to guarantee the safety of those tattooed silver.

In the hall, Jining garrison, Jining prefect and others who were joking suddenly heard that Chu Yi had sent someone to invite Du Wen, and everyone's faces showed surprise.

Chen Li even said with a smile: "It seems that Chu Yi really fell into the big net I've cast, and everything went according to plan. It's up to you today whether you can save the castration for a few adults."

Du Wen suddenly stood up and said, "Mr. Daishan, don't worry, since Chu Yi has arrived at our site, he can't even try to escape today with his wings attached."

While speaking, Du Wen walked out of the hall and said, "Everyone, I'll talk about it later when I deal with Chu Yi's envoy."

When Cao Shaoqin saw Du Wen, Du Wen bowed to him with a look of surprise on his face: "This father-in-law, do you think the governor of Chu is summoned?"

Seeing Du Wen's expression in his eyes, Cao Shaoqin only regarded the other party as an official trying to attach himself to Chu Yi. He didn't find it strange, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, the Governor is currently stationed on the Jining Wharf, guarding the adults and Order the troops and horses, and go with me to meet the overseer."

Du Wen nodded with ecstasy on his face and said: "This father-in-law, please wait a moment, after I change my clothes, I will order the troops and horses to go to visit the governor."

Cao Shaoqin couldn't be more satisfied with Du Wen's attitude. He nodded slightly and said, "Just take it easy, Lord Guard."

It only took a while, but Du Wen appeared in a military uniform. It was quite good looking. He respectfully said to Cao Shaoqin, "Father-in-law, please!"

The moment Cao Shaoqin turned around, Du Wen suddenly drew his sword and slashed towards Cao Shaoqin, the speed was quite fast, almost comparable to second-rate players in the arena.

But Du Wen underestimated Cao Shaoqin too much. No matter what, Cao Shaoqin was a first-class top player who had practiced the Sunflower Collection. Even if he was unprepared, a whistling sound came from behind, and Cao Shaoqin evaded dangerously. Even so, Cao Shaoqin was bruised on his shoulder.
